This wind farm produces enough energy to power approximately 115,000 homes annually and helps to reduce CO₂ emissions by around 900,000 metric tons per year, equivalent to the emissions from 190,000 vehicles【6†source】【8†source】. The energy generated is supplied to the Southwest Power Pool grid, contributing to the regional renewable energy supply【6†source】【8†source】.
Milligan 1 is EDF Renewables' first project in Nebraska, showcasing the state's favorable wind conditions and supportive regulatory environment. The project not only generates clean energy but also provides economic benefits to the local community through job creation, landowner payments, and tax revenue【6†source】.
